Mark 15:28An Understandable Version (2005 edition){Some ancient manuscripts add verse} “And the Scripture was fulfilled, which said, ‘He was counted with the lawbreakers.’” See the chapter |
We should fix our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and completer of the [or, “our”] faith. [Note: Jesus is here pictured as the one who completely fulfills the life of faith, or who provides us with the ability to live such a life]. [And] because He could look forward to joy, He endured the cross, despising its shame, and has sat down at the right side of God’s throne.
